Hi Thunderbird,
If you are on a Mac, go start a terminal window (Applications->Utilities->Terminal)
Then run the command:
ifconfig -a
which it will bring you a lot of interfaces, you may have on your computer. You should select the specific interface that you know you are connected with (Ethernet with a LAN, wireless, etc)
For finding the IP of YOUTUBE, of for ANY site you want from the world, just type in the terminal window:
ping youtube.com
and the result will be something like:
PING youtube.com (
74.125.127.100): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from
74.125.127.100: icmp_seq=0 ttl=33 time=256.067 ms
64 bytes from
74.125.127.100: icmp_seq=1 ttl=33 time=256.451 ms
....
where you can see the YOUTUBE IP address, that is facing you.
If you want to see what are the rout your IP packages will make to the intended site, run the command:
traceroute youtube.com
the results will be a list of IP's from which your packages are passing through successively. This command is very good to know, where there is a stall or a blockade when cannot access a site. By this command you will know where the problem lies.
All these are the PRO's methods. If you want something simpler, just go to "System Preferences" -> Network and in that window, downstairs, in the middle, there is a button called "ASSIST ME". You follow that directives.
Hope that this could help you!
